AAF-final

Talk the talk

Viewing art can be a wonderful experience, but there really is no substitute for owning a piece that intrigues, moves, or delights you. Although appreciating and collecting art should be about personal taste, sometimes a little bit of considered advice from an expert can go a long way. Throughout the Affordable Art Fair we have a programme of free and informal talks and tours which are a great place to start.
